At first I was all like "Meh."
Then I was like "Hmm..."
Now I'm all "Whoa."

Not sure why it took me a few months to revisit this. I'm glad I did though, Book Of Black Earth create massive, rowdy sounding death metal with nothing but their guitars. No need to drag any keyboard player away from his Gossip Girl marathon.

Woah, where the hell did this come from? Just bought it, but I can see this is right up my alley... I love genre mash-ups like this, sick black metal riffs in a melodic death metal framework, and the vocals remind me of some grimy old-school DC hardcore or something. I am definitely gonna enjoy this!
